Found this

Make sense. That’s good. I feel my hypos very early on and rarely have them and have never needed assistance etc... I also still finger prick approx 4 times a day to make sure cgm is playing ball so would be fine if they were required. Cheers you’ve been a great help.

Thank you so much for the reply. That’s brilliant. I’m on a pump and have been for many years as well as a CGM but just wasn’t sure. Thanks once again.

We had a load of black indoor waiting room benches delivered at Coventry station last night and the old red ones taken away. The first class lounge has been shut, the red door painted dark grey and open as a normal waiting room. Rumour says it will go back to a first class lounge once taken over.

that's good of them!
